Pretty much every Thursday I make breakfast food for dinner. It is that time of the week where I am out of ideas, just plain tired, or I am hungry for a breakfast that doesn’t begin and end with oatmeal.

This past week I knew I had eggs, cheese, a little bit of leftover bacon, and a cup of (leftover) turkey sausage. In my freezer I had some Pillsbury frozen biscuits. (Don’t judge me … I keep them for an emergency … or for whenever I want a great biscuit fast!)

Sitting in front of my computer I decided to Google“eggs, biscuits, and sausage recipe”. If you haven’t ever done that I highly recommend it. Just search using whatever main ingredients you have on hand. You never know what will pop up and in this case … a really fantastic recipe called Sausage, Egg and Biscuit Casserole from my recipes.com.

I used some crumbled bacon and turkey sausage, mozzarella and cheddar cheese, eggs, milk and cut up frozen biscuits. Oh my word was I surprised by this recipe! My sous-chef dish-washing mom loved it and the Chief said “this is really great!”

You can easily start with the basic recipe and add or subtract anything you want or don’t want. I can see this as an all-cheese recipe, onions and green peppers added, or how about some spicy Chorizo sausage served with salsa?

Whether it is 8 a.m. on Saturday morning, Sunday brunch, or Thursday night dinner … your family with love this casserole!

Happy Baking! ~Catherine

John 21:12

“Jesus said to them, “Come and have breakfast.” Now none of the disciples dared ask him, “Who are you?” They knew it was the Lord.”
